The night is almost here. I hope my Windows 7 Launch Party guests aren’t expecting much. I mean, they’re welcome to go hang out on my Windows 7 computer and putz around on it. I don’t care, but I’m going to be drinking some refreshing High Life far away from that wretched device. I only have a few people coming to my launch party and they will all be leaving with a gift bag filled with Windows 7 crap courtesy of Microsoft and random advertisers. But how about you? Are you attending or hosting one of these infamous events tonight or in the coming days? → Read More
If you’re a Windows 7 Launch Party host like me, you’ve probably gone through a wave of emotion. First you were probably stoked that you were chosen, you then probably had fun with everyone else over the awful launch party videos and hand-outs, and then last week, you probably got the sweet party kit that contains a special version of Windows 7 Ultimate. But are you now dreading the damn party next week? I am. So I wanna know, are you actually planning on having the party? If so, give me some and others some tips and/or words of encouragement in the comments below. → Read More
My Windows 7 Launch Party kit is finally here! As you may recall, I was selected to host one of these Windows 7 Launch Parties. I’m so lucky. Oh, man, look at all this stuff. Streamers, balloons, party bags, playing cards, a puzzle, and a poster!!! Microsoft sure knows how to throw a party. Add some jello shots and a beer bong, and this party should be crazy. Oh, and the fact that I now have a full, legal copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 32- and 64-bit makes me smile too. → Read More
FYI: If you’re coming to my Windows 7 Launch Party on October 22, be prepared to watch this video and learn how Windows 95 is “basically goof-proof.” Drinking game suggestions? → Read More
Great news, fellow Windows 7 Launch Party hosts. Your party pack should arrive soon. Be on the lookout for a UPS tracking email. Mine’s set to arrive this Friday. Now, all I need is some clever party games. And a few guests, too. Maybe I should watch the instructional videos again for some tips. → Read More
It was only two weeks ago that the Windows 7 Launch Party video cut a burning swath across the internet, leaving only scorched sensibilities and a feeling that you’d lost something fundamental never to be regained. We lied to ourselves then that it couldn’t be more than a blip on the radar, a PR pitch gone awry and furtively uploaded, unfit for human consumption as it was — a tainted morsel of the promotional meat grinder. And to be honest, I was ready to let it lie. But it wasn’t just a morsel. Little did we know, the Windows 7 launch sausage factory would be squeezing gristle into our inboxes regularly — and now they’ve gone and sent us party favors. → Read More
Guys, I’m really excited. I’m stoked that Microsoft choose me, ME, to host a Windows 7 Launch Party. That’s right, lame ol’ Burns is going to host a Windows 7 party. I just got my confirmation email saying I was a finalist and to head over to HouseParty.com ASAP. Once I filled out all the steps to create a party webpage and invite my guests, I got the email above confirming I’m the coolest person on Earth. Now all I have to do is wait for my pack of party supplies to arrive, which includes a signature edition of Windows 7 Ultimate thankyouverymuch, and watch those fabulous party instructional videos for pointers. → Read More
The picture after the jump isn’t CrunchGear’s holiday party. That was Sony’s idea of a good time for the launch of God Of War II. The body of a dead goat was packed with guts that guests were invited to enjoy. Seriously, what moron was in charge of this party? Playstation Magazine was set to run the entire spread until they finally came to their senses and realized what a bad idea it would be. A freshly killed goat with guts? Who the farfinoogin thinks of this stuff?! Click to see after the jump. Warning: Boobies. → Read More
I guess our invitation was lost in the mail. The Sidekick ID we all love to hate is getting some much needed PR from the likes of Kelly Monaco and Taryn Manning. Nothing says, “Buy Me”, like a starlets interchangeable skins. The picture alone makes me want to buy one. The launch party wasn’t at Chuck-E-Cheese, but there were some hotties. Even Jenna Jameson took some time out of her busy schedule to come out and party, but she seems to prefer the Dwayne Wade Edition SK3. Based on these pics I think the ID is going to be a hit with the ladies. → Read More
